Next episode of Super Tipiak75: all stars in AoC world. ⭐

Day17 was interesting : part1 involved running machine language on an imaginary CPU and lookup output, pretty straightforward. Part2 was about modifying the output in order for the program to output a quine. Pure logic and little coding got me that last star in the end.

My quest for the few missing stars of AoC 2024 continues ! day16 was a classic maze pathfinding challenge. p1 just involved finding the shortest path from start to end, easily solved with A*. Part2 asked for ALL shortest paths, I had to learn and implement BFS and special optimizations to finally get there.

I just completed "Crossed Wires" - Day 24 - Advent of Code 2024 https://adventofcode.com/2024/day/24

Wow, this one took me a hell of a long time. Part1 involved building a state machine to execute a bunch of bitwise operations. Part2 was a different beast, involving stepping through the instructions and spotting mistakes. I had to rewrite my answer 6 times over a week to get that, and it involved a #graphviz export as well. Now, on to my next missing 2024 star...

Today's challenge was about performing various calculations on a set of integers and evaluating the best output acording to a set of rules given in the most convoluted possible english 😜 🙈 More of a reading challenge than others. Woke up one hour late but unbelievably managed to get it right fast enough, yay.

I just completed "RAM Run" - Day 18 - Advent of Code 2024 https://adventofcode.com/2024/day/18

Finally a quick and easy challenge tonight. The last 3 days have been exhausting. A classic, straightforward maze pathfinding one, not the first this year. A* solved it nicely.

Today's challenge was about managing position and displacement of points within a 2d grid. Part1 was pretty straightforward, part2 involved either ingenuity or dry eyes staring at the output of one's code for a while. A nice and fun event once again AoC !

Today was math day in AdventOfCode ! Someone cleverly decided I should remember my high school math course and brush up my matrix solving skills. They were right, I needed the nudge, they're dusty ! Although I quickly identified the need and solution, coding it took a lot of time to do right. Still, it felt refreshing !

Today's event was about perimeter and surface computing on a 2-dimensional grid. It was pretty intense spotting these off-by-one errors, debugging was long and painful, but here we are ! \o/

A very interesting challenge today. Just some basic rules managing replacements within a short list of integers, but done a ridiculous number of times in a row. A performance problem, pushed my stack to the extreme limits. Finally got it after hours recoding it in several ways to cope with ram/io issues. Woohoo !

Today's event was about pathfinding in a 2d maze. Classic AoC, pretty straightforward, I actually coded part2 by mistake in part1 so I think I did pretty good !

I just completed "Disk Fragmenter" - Day 9 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2024/day/9

Today's task was basically defragmenting a bunch of data. Algorithmically intensive task, pushed my hardware (well, language - looking at you #php) to the limits. Although the event is finished, I'll set myself to optimize it drastically (this initial run lasted more than 30mins for a bogus result, def room for improvement here 😁 ).

2d grid vector calculations for today. Difficulty still manageable for now.

Recursion 😅

Although straightforward in itself, as it's been a while since I last wrote recursive code, today's problem was painful (but enjoyable, nonetheless !). What's next ?

Classic maze trap example with a twist. Part1 was straightforward, part2 however got me stucked upon the smallest possible detail I've overlooked. Still fun anyway !

Finally. In part2, after an attempt at a naive brute forcing at first which took forever, I switched to a "smart" brute force and that did the trick. Not the best code I've ever done but hey.

I just completed "Ceres Search" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2024/day/4

A good grid traversing event. I struggled on part1 with diagonals. Part2 was straightforward but involved totally starting over entirely.

Enfin moi je dis ça :-) Mon dernier employeur, qui est aussi quelqu'un d'assez proche de moi et de ma famille (longue histoire), m'avait en gros supplié pour venir bosser pour elle, elle a profité à 100% de la flexibilité que je lui offrais en ne tenant aucune de ses promesses en retour. J'ai lâché l'affaire. Et elle m'a reproposé le même délire le mois dernier (cette fois j'ai refusé). Y'a un moment faut penser à toi.
